I was talking about the bi-pedal type of wildlife. If that's what they call
'developed,' I'm just too old for it.

Opps... Sorry, I thought it was attached to the tearline of the BBS, and we
were just *yucking* it up. It's Calgary. The province, you know. The
abbreviation is an old one that we even used on envelopes before the postal
code came into affect. I didn't intend to be evasive, but it often comes out
that way.

BTW, I've heard that italics is now signified by "/". I still use
the "*",
which now means a shout. I'm NOT shouting, unless I use capital letters. Don't
want to be even more misconstrued. <-;

I don't see why not. How about on MEMORIES where a few more might see it? I
have troubles standing at a stove, but I should be able to give it a try
sometime.

A nurse asked me if I am a good cook. Then she suggested that I should keep on
doing that. It's therapy for me too. Get up or starve. <-;

I guess I saw you post when you were co-sysop then. That or in a dream
somewhere. We suffer from the same dream maybe!

When I was in the thick of it - sort of speaking - and while in an impromptu
conversation with a stranger, she told me that my sense of humour should stead
me well. Later, I was informed that the lady was a retired nurse, and quite
high in the chain of command when on the job. I did however use some anger too,
which isn't too flattering to me now, but something I had to come to grips
with.

OUCH! I caught that blow.

While on the pain medication, I would load up, and head off to quite a few
auctions. Then, after spending the day on my feet, I would need more medication
to get back the next day to pick up my booty. I had to stop that when I ran out
of convenient places to put these pieces! I stopped short of filling my house,
but I now have to get creative on where I am to put all this to make use of it.
The real delusion I realize now, is that I thought I would be able to use this
stuff.

Well I was born in a farm-service town, and moved to the big city at the age of
five... 

Seriously, George. I often don't intend to be evasive. But, I have had some
practise at it. Thanks for having none of it! 

Tip of the hat to you.
